Calling all Coaches

One of the most popular features of Catdomealumni.com is our Coaching Page were we list our Linfield football alumni and where they are currently coaching.It’s not unique to have colleges produce coaches but what is unique about Linfield football is the continuity of Linfield’s staff in where each new coach that starts their career after college has been taught the same philosophies that Coach Durham and Coach Rutschman built the program on some 52 years ago.

In looking at my list I know that I’m missing a number of former ‘Cats that are still out there coaching football, basketball, track, etc.So I’m depending on you to help me get closer to having a complete list of where these former ‘Cats are at today.

So take a few minutes and take a look at the coaching page.If you don’t see your name on the list or know of someone who is not on the list please drop me a note (catdomealumni@yahoo.com) or leave a comment so we can add their name to our growing list.

Why "ADvantage Catdome"

I’ve had a number of people ask me why the blog is called ADvantage Catdome. So instead of repeating the explanation over and over, I thought I would just lay it out here.

Back in 1986 my father took me to my very first Linfield game, the final regular season game vs. Pacific (Linfield would roll the Boxers on their way to their 3rd NAIA title). I was 10 years old at the time and I can remember seeing these banners the pep squad/students have hung up on the fences around the Catdome. They read “We have the ADvantage”.

I pulled on my dad’s shirt and asked him what that meant. He pointed to the coaches box in the far back of Memorial stadium and said “You see that man there? That’s Coach Rustchman. He’s Linfield’s advantage.”

It wasn't until later that my dad told me Coach Rustchman’s first name was “Ad”. Get it now? Good. Go ‘Cats!
